    Phil O'Donnell: R.I.P.

    More and more of this stuff happening

    Terrible tragedy

    Fromt' Beeb website.

    Motherwell captain Phil O'Donnell was taken to hospital after collapsing towards the end of his side's 5-3 victory over Dundee United.
    The 35-year-old midfielder fell to the ground just as he was about to be replaced with Marc Fitzpatrick.

    O'Donnell was treated for around five minutes on the field for what is thought to have been a seizure.

    And the former Celtic and Sheffield Wednesday player was carried off on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance.

    Motherwell manager Mark McGhee spoke briefly to the press after the game before going to hospital to find out how the skipper was.

    We took Clarkson off because he got a fright from the nature of the collapse

    Motherwell manager Mark McGhee

    "He's had some sort of collapse," he said.

    McGhee said O'Donnell's substitution had been "an absolute coincidence" before his sudden collapse.

    "We just felt we would save him a bit for Wednesday," said the manager.

    O'Donnell's nephew, David Clarkson, was substituted moments later after scoring two goals in the Scottish Premier League match.

    McGhee said: "We took Clarkson off because he got a fright from the nature of the collapse.

    "A few of the boys got a fright."

    A news conference has been called at Wishaw General Hospital, which will be addressed by chief executive Ian Stillie

            I suppose football is just a reflection of society at the end of the day.

                Very true RC. I know a few people who've been fit as a fiddle and collapsed/died at work.

                    But why does it happen? It just doesn't make sense.

                        My cousin was diagnosed with that sudden death thing that some of the footballers in recent years have died from recently. We've all been gutted for her. She's had to give up full time work and cant do anything for more than a few hours even though she's well able to. Has been told she'll have to give up driving soon because she could die while on the road. She's 25. ****in' scary business hearing it.

                          Sudden death? Usually cardiac in origin amongst adults. Some kind of dysrhythmia or cardiomyopathy probably.
                          There are other causes such as substance misuse which probably go undiagnosed most of the time.

                            My Mum has to be the most unhealthy person I know and she is still going strong in her 60s despite many things. Yet I know a colleague who was so fit he could run a marathon in 2.30 yet he died at 30.

                            If your time is up....
